Where will you buy yours? (GTA IV) MEGAMERGE!!

Creamy Goodness

right the low down, i'm back.

tescos will have it out on the shelf at 2:05 why i do not know.

went and joined the queue for game, pre ordered it in the queue (they gave you a sheet and anyone with a sheet got the game).

i didn't preorder any version and i walked in and bought the ps3 and 360 version (for a mate).

just waiting for the install to finish, another 20 seconds i think.

both versions are 65 euros, and game have offers on numerous games in there and accessories.

never seen a queue as big in my life. was around by the O2 shop.

Tescos in Mahon Point in Cork has em and on sale, bot systems, seemed to have a fair few yet. Arrived at 12:05 and was ecstatic when I noticed people walking out with it in their hands, then worried when I didn't see it on display anywhere. Then happy again when I asked hte manager if he had any copies yet and he disappeared behind the ciggie counter and came back with my copy. I did some Grand Theft Auto driving on the way home. Now installing it and having a bowl of cereal to keep me going for the next few hours.

i saw your post after i came home empty handed from Tesco in Midleton after waiting for an hour and a half (all they had was 10 copies for the 360 ,i needed ps3 ), I went straight up to mahon point tesco and picked up a copy for my son , many many thanks , fitz

Well I'm gonna try Argos tomorrow morning. They're selling it for 60 euro which seems fair enough and you can't reserve a copy online which is even more fair again for those of us who didn't pre-order. I just hope they'll have it stocked already....

No probs, glad you got it. Wouldn't have felt right sitting at home playing it away knowing people were trying to find it. Enjoy!

back from tesco ardkeen in waterford!!
turned up at 12 to find its not on sale till 2am...
stuck it out tho and was about 12th in queue, only about 50 of each version for sale, id say theres a few of the PS3 ones left!!
i dont even like GTA games, i was just bored, seemed like a fun thing to do!!
anyone want it??

jayteecork

so €65 for Tesco then?

Bit steep, thought it'd be a little cheaper.

Might try Harvey Norman tomorrow first.

Going to try grab a copy somewhere around Blanch at lunch time ... agh!

surprisingly big Q @ xtravision Drogheda anyone who didnt pre order was turned away, just work up and stil havent played it yet as my xbox is @ the dublin house so a while yet b4 i get a play. Im tired and grumpy now not because of the excitement but because the free energy drink xtravision drogheda handed out. Like an idiot i drank it on the way home :eek:

Ha ha ha I just remembered some girl was taking pictures of her boyfriend when he was buying his copy definately one to remember i guess.

No worries. Was going to chance lucan on the way to work too but traffic on the N4 was nuts so skipped it. Lucky too cause apparently they sold out shortly after 12!



Anybody know if anywhere in Blanch SC will have copies without a preorder? Going to ring when everywhere opens but just want to get an idear!

Reserved my copy in Liffey Valley argos there, can collect it today or tomorrow. Not in any rush to find it now hehe

edit: Just checked and I can reserve another 10 copies if I wish so it looks like they have plenty to go around there.

I have it reserved in argos! what do you do? do you write down the code they gave you on one of those argos sheets and bring it up to the counter or just go up and say i have this booked?

there are two lines at the top of their little docket for entering your reservation number.
